Educational Materials > MRSA Materials

GUARD produces and distributes its own educational materials. We also make other educational materials available, from sources such as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Georgia Health Department. Both types of educational materials are available here for free download and printing. Some pre-printed brochures and posters may also available at cost through the GUARD office and can be shipped to any site in Georgia upon request. Email requests to jwilde@mcg.edu.
